Life is Beautiful - and so they say...

by J Lau   May 25, 2006


Life is beautiful,
and so they say...
yet so empty,
until you can share;
the moments in life,
with the one you care.

Life is beautiful,
and so they say...
yet so lonely,
until you can love;
that special someone,
lost in the shove.

Life is beautiful,
and so they say...
yet so sad,
until you can care;
all those around you,
as much as you dare.

Life is beautiful,
and so they say...
yet so dull,
until you can feel;
all the emotions,
that can't be more real.

Life is beautiful,
if I may say...
for there is hope,
that I may have met;
that special someone,
who may change it all.

Yet I'm lost,
until she frees herself,
from the emotional entanglement.
and opens up her heart,
for this longing love.

And so I pray,
that this may lead,
to a life that is truly beautiful,
and so one day I may say...
L i f e  I S B e a u t i f u l
.... because I KNOW.

    Ok, it was
    an instering peice
    but in a good way
    i liked the pattern in
    your rhyming
    but at points it seems that
    you forced the rhymes

    but still a good poem that deserves

    5/5

    This was an interesting piece. I like the lines with which you begin each stanza. The repetitiveness works with this piece. The second stanza was my favorite and so true. It was a sad but still upbeat piece all in one.

    Nice. I loved the change in stanza format. It added emotion to the poem very well. The repetition also added great effect to the poetry.

    Original writing style. I like the redundancy of "Life is beautiful, and so they say..." My favorite stanza was:

    "Life is beautiful,
    and so they say...
    yet so empty,
    until you can share;
    the moments in life,
    with the one you care."

    Overall rating: 4/5. Keep up the good work :)
